A. B The original residence structure was constructed in the early 50s prior to the current lakeshore development standards. The irregular or cur\’ed shoreline at this property results in an irregular lakeshore setback line. C. E. As the grade level lakeside deck is located completely in front of the residence, the deck will have no impact on the lakeshore views of the residences on either side of this property. The City has received no negative comments from the neighbors on the adjacent properties. The proposed improvement will result in a decrease of 175 s.f. of hardcover improvements within the 0-75’ setback area. 4. The City Council finds that the conditions existing on this property are peculiar to it and do not apply generally to other property in this zoning district; that granting the variance would not adversely affect traffic conditions, light, air nor pose a fire hazard or other danger to neighboring property; would not merely serve as a convenience to the applicants, but is necessary to alleviate a demonstrable hardship or difficulty; is necessary to preserve a substantial property right of the applicant; and would be in keeping with the spirit and intent of the Zoning Code and Comprehensive Plan of the City. 5. The City Council has considered this application including the findings and recommendations of the Planning Commission, reports by City staff, comments by the applicants and the effect of the proposed variance on the health, safety and welfare of the community. CONCLUSIONS, ORDER AND CONDITIONS Based upon one or more of the above findings, the Orono City Council hereby grants variances to Municipal Zoning Code Section 10.22, Subdivisions 1 (A), 1 (B) and 2 to permit the reconstruction of a 14’x26 ’ deck granting an average lakeshore setback for the entire structure, a 4’ or 5.3% lakeshore setback variance and hardcover variances within the 0-75’ setback area at 52 s.f. or 0.40% and 1,095.3 s.f. or 4% in the 75-250’ setback area, subject to the following conditions: Page 2 of 5
